24/7 Media Shares Jump on Buyout Report

I was checking over my stock portfolio today and saw that 24/7 Media was up 17%+ on the day. Last week it was up a nice amount on the news of the DoubleClick buy out as well. With DoubleClick being picked up by Google, its now just a sit and wait game for all of these other ad networks. Why was the stock up 17% today? Sure enough, it looks like 24/7 Media is the next company on the buy out list. Estimates are the company could get in the area of around $600 million plus. Keep an eye out for what’s to happen with 24/7 Media and who might be next? Click here for the full press release. (Personally, I’m looking forward to a huge buyout for ValueClick next!)

Google and Performics and SEO…Oh My!

As webmasters and bloggers we have enough to keep up busy and to worry about. Usually link building and working on search engine listings are two of our biggest priorities. Lately I have been working a bit with Text-Link-Ads and PayPerPost to see what type of opportunities are out there. Text-Link-Ads is nice because of their easy to navigate setup and your links are usually in place within 24 hours, or by the end of the day! Not to mention you can click here and get a cool $100 of your first ad buy! PayPerPost has also been interesting, offering a wide variety of bloggers to write reviews on your web site or product. For now I am happy with the results from both of these companies, as in setting up and establishing links/reviews.

We can easily setup ad buys for sites like Text-Link-Ads and PayPerPost, but what about regular search engine listings?… I came across a post today about how Google’s recent purchase of DoubleClick, will now bring Performics into play with SEO. The interesting dilemma here is that Google results have always been known to be based off their algorithm and pretty much fair, being based off content and site power. What will happen once Google is running in partnership (or competition) with a company it owns? Will Google sell off Performics separately to avoid the situation? You can refer to the full post here, and feel free to leave a comment with your thoughts.

Make Money with Mad Money’s Jim Cramer

Jim Cramer… almost everyone knows who he is, but for some reason it seems most people love him, or hate him. I love him! Besides from his crazy show, non-stop screaming, his love for stocks and memorizing every stock ticker symbol and lastly, his "BUY BUY BUY" buttons… I can’t see why you wouldn’t like him. Jim Cramer isn’t here to make friends with you anyway… he’s here to make you money!

There are actually three different ways you can start making money with Jim Cramer. First, you could buy his new book, "Jim Cramer’s Mad Money: Watch TV, Get Rich". Second, you can watch/listen to his daily (no weekends) TV show on CNBC, "MAD MONEY, with Jim Cramer"…. or lastly you can join his online "Action Alerts Plus", which is run through TheStreet.com. First off, I’m not trying to sell you on any of these, nor do I make a commission on any signups sent to his site. More than anything, I’m telling you how to MAKE MONEY! I didn’t buy Jim Cramer’s book (yet), I much prefer to listen to his show a on XM Radio or catch it on TV…more importantly, I am a member of his "Action Alerts Plus".

What is "Action Alerts Plus"? In short, I’ll take it right from his site "Gain Full Access to My Personal Portfolio - And I’ll Email You Before I Make a Trade…". Jim Cramer has a charitable trust that he uses and trades all of his stocks in, which right now has over $400,000 worth of stocks. When you join his program you will get an email before he every buys or sells a stock. He is telling you when to BUY, when to Sell… it’s that easy!

Yay, Another email from Jim Cramer! Time to Make Money… MAD MONEY!

I had just opened a new ScottTrade brokerage account and wanted to do something new with it. On February 21st 2007 I decided to join Jim Cramer’s "Action Alerts Plus" and put it to the test. I paid the $399.95 for the full year membership. ($59.95 a month also available). Since joining, I have bought and sold everything Cramer has said to do through his portfolio. Here are the results: (stock symbol removed due to terms and conditions)

7.65% in Three Months!… That’s MAD MONEY!

As you can see, since only Feb 21, 2007, this portfolio is already up 7.65%, not to mention any dividends paid! Try finding a bank that will pay you interest rates like these… not to mention this is only three months! The best part is, these are not risky stocks, Jim Cramer is not playing with your money, nor his! He is investing in companies that we all use daily! While I can not list these company that are shown in the portfolio above, I can tell you that none of them are OTC and Cramer does not jump in and out of stocks… he takes the time to find great buying opportunities.

Join Cramerica people and let’s start making some money…. MAD MONEY!

Chinese Golden Dragon Acrobats

Reena and I just got back from seeing the “Chinese Golden Dragon Acrobats” perform at the STATE Theatre in New Brunswick, NJ. We were running a little late, due to traffic… so I dropped Reena off to get us a couple tickets. Amazingly enough, there was a woman there who did not need an extra two tickets and gave them to Reena for FREE! I was not sure what to expect at first but it was well worth the visit. This was an excellent show! I’m very happy to say the “Chinese Golden Dragon Acrobats” show exceeded my expectations and I would recommend it for anyone to see. For more information, you can visit their web site at http://www.goldendragonacrobats.com.

Make Money with NeverBlueAds

I remember when I first met the guys from NeverBlueAds. It was right after I was doing one of my round table sessions at Affiliate Summit a few years ago. Jordan Visco and a couple other guys from his company were impressed with my presentation and story on what I have done online, and thought we would be a good match for making some money. After talking with Jordan for a bit, I went onto my laptop and signed up as an affiliate. I would meet up with Jordan several times over the next year or two at the next Affiliate Summit and AdTech exhibits. I ran a few of their offers here and there, but really wasn’t pushing any volume worth mentioning. Really sucks meeting up with people you really like and always having the "so when are we going to make some money together" conversation year after year! I still talk to Jordan occasionally, but the other day I finally went a head and grabbed some of the offers on his network and placed them on a few sites.

It was late in the day, so I threw up a couple few offers on one of my high traffic sites… I made a quick $6.35. Nothing too thrilling, but testing starts out somewhere. The next day I had more time to send some traffic over and ended up making $33.95. Things are looking a lot better, now I should start optimizing a bit. I emailed Jordan to let him know I’m going to play around with some of the listings and see what I can do. We were both happy to see the next day brought in a cool $112.55. With my new optimizations in place, ONLY four days in with testing their offers I am up to $138.95! This is only a start, I’m aiming earning a few hundred a day with theses guys and their amazing offers!

I want YOU to start making some money now with NeverBlueAds. Not only are they an excellent company to work with, but they also have very high paying rates and you are assigned your own affiliate manager as well. Unlike Google Adsense, NeverBlueAds is made up of a large variety of CPA type offers for you to choose from. You can also earn commission by sending new affiliates/publishers to their network. Their user interface is also very easy to navigate, the site loads awesomely fast and new offers and creative are all available on your main page when you login. I highly recommend NeverBlueAds, and you can signup by clicking here.

No Flash!… But me and Jordan Still Make Money in Style!
